An interview with LeAnn Rimes in the October issue of Shape generated press for the magazine, but its editor-in-chief regrets putting the country singer on the cover. In the interview, the singer opened up about why she cheated on husband Dean Sheremet with actor Eddie Cibrian, who was also married at the time. "My relationship with Dean was great, but ultimately it wasn't a fulfilling marriage for either of us," Rimes, 28, told Shape. Amid complaints from readers, Valerie Latona sent a mass e-mail to explain. "You all agree Shape has made a terrible mistake in putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover," began the e-mail, which was first obtained by TooFab.com. "Please know that our putting her on the cover was not meant to put a husband-stealer on a pedestal - but to show (through her story) how we all are human. And this woman in particular found strength in exercise in what she said was her most difficult personal moment." The singer fell out of favor when she moved in with Cibrian, prompting the mother of his two children to accuse her of stealing her hubby. Cibrian's ex-wife isn't having a good week, either: Brandi Glanville was arrested yesterday in Beverly Hills, Calif., on suspicion of drunken driving, TMZ.com said.
